in the winter, he insists on shorts and t-shirts.

right now (in this heat) he is in jeans and a jumper.

AIBU to do this face -->> at him??

and is he BU to keep said clothing on, then complain that he is too hot.

damn child!!!

DS1 (aged 6) is insisting on wearing long-sleeved PJs to bed in this heat. Won't be persuaded to sleep naked or even wear short PJs. And he always has to have every shirt, even casual ones, buttoned up to the top button and every top tucked into his trousers. He has his own style!

well, I do wonder about DS1 TBVH picky..........DS2 has just been DX'd with a sensory processing disorder, and reading up about it, DS1 has it in reverse......whatever issues DS2 has, the complete opposite is DS1.

hecate, yours are lovely

OMDB, yours or mine??

keeps mine interesting! he would absolutely cringe if i told you this - but when he started school we had to TAPE tellytubbies for him....and he was deeply into the powerpuff girls....he is 17 now...he has found new and manly things to get obsessed about....

And there I was thinking I was being unreasonable. I keep having huge raging discussions with my 3 yo daughter who insists on wearing tights or long trousers and full length sleeved t-shirts. This from girl who used to be naked at the first sign of sunshine.

DS1 will not wear shorts to school in this heat. He says and I think it's true that no boys in KS2 wear shorts, no matter what the weather. Drives me crazy.

DS2 ONLY wears shorts no matter what the weather .
